The Encyclopedia of Presidents offers authoritative biographies of each president since 1789, when George Washington was first
sworn in. The stories of these key figures and historic events paint a full and lively picture of our nation. Each biography
includes color illustrations, a timeline, boxed features on events and people of special interest, and lively text introducing
the featured president and the times in which he lived. Texan Lyndon B. Johnson was the most powerful man in Congress in 1960,
when John F. Kennedy chose him to run for vice president. Johnson was admired and feared for his effective but overbearing
use of power. In November 1963, he became president when President Kennedy was assassinated, and he was elected to a full
term in 1964. A champion of civil rights for African Americans, Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting
Rights Act of 1965. He originated Head Start and other programs to improve educational and economic opportunities for the
poor. His successes were overshadowed by the growing war in Vietnam. He increased the number of U.S. troops there and ordered
heavy bombing of enemy territories. As resistance to the war grew, Johnson's popularity declined. He announced in March 1968
that he would not run for another term. In January 1969, he left office, replaced by Republican Richard Nixon

Describes how the Pony Express began, the men who worked for it, its importance and its demise. The mid-1800s was a time of

of the continent to the other was slow and unreliable. It was a prime time for a fresh, new idea. Out of this necessity sprung
the pony express. The 1840s and 1850s drew thousands of people to California, most of whom traveled along the Oregon trail.
With the surge in population, the pony express was the answer to communication problems

It is not an exaggeration to say that classical Greek civilization is the cornerstone of Western civilization today. The Greeks
invented everything from logic and democracy to rhetoric, drama, and philosophy. Empire of the Early Greek World chronicles
the remarkable legacy of the Greeks, as well as the diversity of their societies from the thriving democracy of Athens to
the militarism of Sparta to the oligarchy of Thrace. It explores the conditions that made it possible for the ancient Greeks
to develop a culture that set the foundation for our intellectual lives today, and explains why Greek power eventually declined.
The book also looks at everyday life in ancient Greece, from the wealthy citizens who grappled in the Olympic arena to the
farmers who found 50 different ways to use olive oil. Connections in our own world to the ancient Greeks are numerous, including
the Olympics, much of our classical literature, the scientific method, architecture, and many English words
